A zoomed tree is a tree with a ./{arch}/++SELECTION file
and with some other files and strange rearrangements.
The file
./{arch}/++ZOOMED
should contain a directory name. The root of the zoomed tree (the one
containing ./{arch}) is taken to be the directory named in ++ZOOMED
rather than the project tree.
The directory
./{arch}/++EXTERN/
contains numbered subdirs each of which contains a ++ZOOMED file of
its own along with some contents of that directory.
A zoomed tree corresponds to a particular MOD tree which can be
formed this way:
Begin with a copy of the ORIG tree (the immediate ancestor
of the zoomed tree).
Delete everything that matches ++SELECTION
Call the result the TARGET.
Make an untangled copy of the zoomed tree by starting
with an empty /., adding all prefix directories mentioned
in the various ++ZOOMED files (along with their tag files, if
any), and then by adding all of the files and dirs from the
zoomed tree (at the appropriate location).
It is an error if not all files in the untangled tree (other
than the prefix directories) match the limit. It is an error
if any of the prefix directories match the limit.
Overlay the untangled tree onto the TARGET tree.
If that succeeds, it is the MOD tree implied by the zoomed
tree.
The new command option:
% tla get --selection SELECTION --zoom SUBDIR REVISION [DIR]
creates a zoomed tree using the indicated SELECTION and SUBDIR.
For example, to check out just the `libawk' subdirectory of the tla
source, you could use:
% echo '(selection (cb "./libawk"))' > ,selection
% tla get --selection ,selection --zoom ./libawk tla--devo--1.3
In the resulting zoomed directory, you can edit and commit changes as
usual -- they'll be "projected back" into a full tla--devo--1.3 tree
by the rules for turning a zoomed tree into a MOD tree, and the rules
for doing a selected commit in that MOD tree.
